Treatment ., Fsi:,s'as si!s,.

From the Philadelphia Record.
For the treatment of poisonous
bites or wounds made by insects an
eminent physician and lecturer ad-
yises as follows:
Apply hartshorn, cologne water or
vinegar directly to the wound 4
poultice of ipecac has been recon-
mended for the same purpose.
This is all the treatment that is
needed for bites of wasps and bees.
Sometimes person may be stung
by a great many bees or wasps at
once. In such cases faintlng may be
produced, and the patient will need
internal stimulants. hartshorn, wine,
brandy or some liquor.
Poisoned wounds nlade by spiders
centipedes and scorpions are treated
in the same way as those made by
insects-that is, by the direct appli-
cation of hartshorn to the wound,
and when necessary, internal stimu-
lants.
For snake bites, says another emil
nent physician, various internal rem
edies may be recommended, of
which the best is carbonate of am
monia in doses of ten or twenty
grains every half hour. Friction to
the surface of the body with pieces
of flannel dipped in hot alcohol is
also beneficial These remedies can
not be applied too soon. Sweet oil
is also a good remedy. The patient
must take spoonful of it internally
and bathe the wound for n cure. 10

as much RS for man.
DR.. Weir, of this city, states that
the application of carbolic acid i'm.
mediately on the receipt of tho
wound prevents both local and gen
eraf poisoning. The pure acid. how
ever, if applied in too great guam
tity, is liable TO produce sioughing,
and even dangerous symptoms, hence,
it is best used in the proportion of
two parts of acid and one part of al
coho. Given internally or applied

NOTES FROM LOMBARD.

THE winter term began Jan. 3. The
number of students has already exceed
ed our expectation. They are nearly all
old students; very few new ones. The
new instructor, Miss Shipman, has taken
her place among the professors. There
seems to be no reason now for any of the
professors overworking themselves this
term.
There have been some improvements
since the fall term closed. The scientific
department has been given more room
In order to do this, the president has
been obliged to give up his room and
occupy the one that the Erosophian So
ciety meet in; then his old room has
been added to the scientific room by a
double door. Thus we have plenty of
room now for the work of the scientific
department. Prof. Rich, who has charge
of this, has created quite an interest by
his great zeal in his work. While the
members of the Erosophian Society are
very reluctant in giving up their room,
yet they feel that it is much better to be
crowded out than to be frozen out; so
they submit to it in hopes that some time
in the near future they may be even bet.
ter situated than they ever were. This
society is not alone in their grief. The
ladies have had their society room mon-
opolized too. So the ladies and gentle.
men mourn together in this, and their
grief is diminished. On Jan. 6, every
stove in the building was doing full duty
except those of the gentlsmen's secret
society rooms, which are not at all con-
venient for recitation. II that does moi
indicate business, pray tell us what does

"Good-Wil Songs" is the first publica-
ton OF the accomplished sin ger whose
beautiful voice is frequently heard in
Uniyersalist meetings. It is an admir-
able compilation of the best hymns and
tunes with original contributions of
words and music. The music is of a high
order, and the arrangements show excel
lent taste and skill. The fitness of words
and music has been consulted through
out Hymns and tunes have been added
because OF their natural sympathy with
each other, and not merely because the
mechanical requirement of the metre was
secured. Some of the finest composers
are represented in it's pages. Mr.. Mitchell
says: at is believed that the compiIa-
ton will commend itself to all of Chris

Rochester society at this point

Knickerbacker died. The people we're so
in love with him that it Is with difficult
ty they turn their attention to another
During the ministry of this good brother,
the old church was burned, and left
houseless, without dollar of insurance,
the little band was burdened with the
building of new edifice without any
other aid than their own resources. They
went at it with a will, and erected neat
brick structure which was valued at
$4,000, but unfortunately the building was
trimmed with white brick which has
dissolved as the weather has tried it from
year to year till it is thought unsafe to
hold services any more in the church till
it is repaired. The Episcopalians made a
proposition to the society last fall to aid
them in the reconstruction, if they could
have the use Of the church for term of
years, and it was received quite favora-
bly,, and joint subscription started, but
enough money was not pledged to war

and without the aid of the Episcopal
friends have secured an amount sufficient

see the work begun. We were called the
latter part of December to bury one of
these three workers, Mrs. DIR. Spencer
She was a woman good and true, devoted
to her family and devoted to her church.
With great longing she desired to at
tend regular services again in the sane
tuary of her love, but just as she saw the
dawning Of that day, her spirit without a
moments warning took flight for the
sanctuary of the great Beyond. But the

NORTHERN OHIO.
FROM WILLIAM f. oRIsPIN.

Akron, o., Jan. z, 1SS7.-[To the Ed
itor Of The UNIvERsALIsT. = The Uni
versalists of Mt. Gilead thoroughly sus-
tanned their we'll known reputation for
pleasing the children and their visitors,
with good old-fashioned Christmas en-
tertainment. The church was handsome
ly and tastefully decorated, and two ever
green's, teeming with gifts, made precious
by the love and good will, of which these
we're emblematic, graced the church on
either side of the pulpit. The presents
were distributed by some half dozen
young ladies. Mr.. Smith Thomas, by
reason Of sickness, was unable to con-
duct the services, SO this devolved upon
Mrs. J. FL. Honeyman. The gifts were
numerous and the occasion has left many
pleasant memories.
= Rev. William Tucker, ID. D., the
pastor at Mt. Gilead, will preach next
Sabbath, at IL A. NJ, on The Physical
Causes of the Death of Christ" and in
the evening he will lecture on "Social-
ism."
-Kent.-A pleasant Christmas social
was held at the Uniyersalist church at
Kent on Christmas Eve. The pastor,
Rev. r. b. Marsh, has been invited to
preach a sermon or two at Mogadore,
where we have a few friends. This is a
comparatively new field for Universalism.
There have been, we believe, few dis
courses preached at the place but no or
ganized effort has been made. We should
be glad il the few friends there would
heartily unite in holding occasional SER
vices if nothing more, and hope Br.
Marsh's visit may quicken them into re-
ligious enthusiasm for the cause they
profess to love.
Rev. r. B. Marsh has SO far recovered
from his throat trouble that services were
held Jan. 2, morning and evening. The
service in the morning was appropriate
to Christmas.
Miss Henrietta G. Moore gave an
address before the Inter Collegiate Pro-
hibition Convention, held at Cleveland
on the 4th instant, her theme being,
"Cultured Woman as a Factor in Polit-
ical Agitation"
Rev. o. Gone, d. d., was called to
Wadsworth, on the Goth of December, to
conduct the funeral services OF Mrs. Hill
lizard. He has also closed his labors with
the Universalist church at Westfeld,
preaching his last sermon there on Dec.
26.
Rev Frank X. BEEN has entered
Buchtel College, and his correspondents
should remember to address him at this
point.
Owing to the prospective marriage OF
one of the lady members of the Buchtel
College faculty, Miss Susie Chamberlain,
teacher of English and rhetorical work,
she has resigned, and her place is now
filled by Miss Florence Perkins, of Cleve-
land. Miss Perkins. is a daughter of Rev.
Mrs. s. M. Perkins. one OF our Univers-
alist preachers. who has for some years
been actively identified with the various
temperance movements in Ohio and else
where. Miss Perkins has for many years
been a successful teacher in the Cleve
land high schools, and will be " at home y
religiously and otherwise in Buchtel
College and with the church at Akron.
